A textbook example to other console developers on how to write videogame prose.

I am absolutely thrilled with this game and already I can’t wait to see where Red Storm takes it next.

The wormhole/supply line/multiple fronts idea is a great one, and I’d love to see it taken further.

Despite a few flaws, this is probably the best adventure game on the market today: a brilliantly plotted story with good characters, tough puzzles, and a 3D interface.

The Second Story, with it’s excellent skill system, item creation and complicated character relationships, takes two steps forward in RPG gaming. Unfortunately, it takes one of those steps back by being mired in some old and tired RPG conventions and by lack of documentation.

The Ecks vs. Sever FPS engine is the best we've seen on the GBA so far, but it's still firmly rooted in the pre-Quake era of shooters. Arguably it's more advanced than any games of that era, although it's not as long or as involved as say, "Duke Nukem 3D."

While the game may not boast the gilded depth and scope of Zelda or the originative spark of Mario, Jet Force Gemini has stolen its way into my heart and become my favorite game on the Nintendo 64.

There are hidden cheats and costumes, and plenty to keep you busy, and the joy of the combat, the good intermixture of stealth and tactics, and the sheer style with which The Mark of Kri is delivered make it a true classic.

The deciding factor of this game has to be how often you have friends over to participate in the battle modes. If you have chums over all the time, put this one in the must-buy category, otherwise Bomberman Online is still worth a rental or two.

It is better than "FFVII" and "FFVIII." In fact, it may be the best PlayStation RPG out there.

Even the new additions to the franchise lack enough depth to warrant picking this up if you already own "Here Comes The Pain."

[Its] frantic, hard-as-heck action has apparently fused those vital language-center synapses, so fongoo, this review's just gonna peter out because your reviewer's brain is fried.

Beautiful, fun, and very easy for anyone to pick up and play.

I have two minor complaints--Stitch can't fire when crouched, which would make the game a lot easier. That's my second beef--as shooters go it's pretty challenging.

A great game if you are a fan of the WW2 genre and a previous fan of the DOD series, but if not, you might find greater value in another WW2 title.

For fans of shooter games in general, Battlefront is a chance to apply some military strategy to epic scale intergalactic combat. And for Star Wars fans, the game finally gives them a chance to experience firsthand some of the best battles in the Star Wars saga.

A silky smooth wonder. The absolute freedom that can be yours in this game is unprecedented. With a large screen television and proper stereo amplification, Pilot Wings 64 truly takes us where no console game has ever gone before.

In the good, but not great category, NHL 2K2's artificial intelligence provides moments of excellence, tempered with moments of sheer stupidity.

In any full 3D combat game, targeting can sometimes be a difficulty, and in War of the Monsters, that manifests as an irritating inability to switch cleanly between targets.

The sound in Robin Hood is also excellent. The music is fitting and I love the way the soldiers taunt, "Why that doesn't hurt at all" when you strike them ineffectually.

Racing along bumpy gravel or icy roads at breakneck speeds is a great thrill, despite some unrealistic collision mechanics.

This excellent, visceral shooter is just the tiniest bit on the short side, but remember what the man said: In a New York Minute, everything can change.

Raven's attempt to infuse different styles of gameplay into SoF2 come off looking like they were stuck on at the last minute with Elmer's Glue.

The game is beautiful and offers plenty of platform gaming excitement that wouldn’t be possible on the PS2 or even the GameCube.

While some details such as heat management and precise targeting have been glossed over a mite heavily for BattleTech fans' tastes, overall Mech Commander 2 bestows a new lease on life upon the esteemed franchise.

Chess can be intimidating for some people, and the makers of Chessmaster 8000 make it easy for everyone to enjoy the game.

Those who want more than a clone will be disappointed, those just looking for a good game will be pleasantly rewarded.

[Its] combination of great racing, beautiful graphics, and fun multiplayer make it one of the best racing simulations on the market.
